Default Jingle jingle

Hey guys
When I go over a speed bump I hear nothing, but when I go over a small bump in the road or down a not so smooth dirt road I here like a jingle under the front end. Like metal washers are shaking against each other. Anyone else having this problem or know what it is? My jeep did it too so idk if it's something to do with 4x4

My '01 is doing the same thing when it hits any kind of small bump in the road. Can't find anything loose either.

Try having someone rock your truck from side to side or up and down while you lay under it to determine the sound. It's a lot easier than banging on stuff by yourself. Check all your bolts on your shocks.

Clamps are good. Shock mounts are good. I got in the bed and jumps so the truck would go up n down and it doesnt do it. Only over fast quick bumps.
